Today was the hottest day of the year, so far. At Hong Kong Observatory, the temperature reached 34.6C. On a little island in the South China Sea, the thermometer hovered a tad below 33C during this afternoon.
Territory-wide, another record was also broken: today, the air pollution was the worst, ever.

The real, external costs of all that commerce and trade are, however, borne locally: the air we breathe is chock-a-block with ozone, nitrous dioxide and 'respirable suspended particulates'. [/rant]
